The Pac-12 presidents and chancellors voted Thursday afternoon to attempt a fall football season, according to a person with knowledge of the situation.
Seven weeks after deciding to postpone until 2021, the conference plans to start games Nov. 6-7 and play a seven-game season that will culminate with the Pac-12 championship game Dec. 18.
USC confirmed on Twitter the season would start. UCLA also tweeted about the season starting, but quickly deleted the tweet. The Pac-12 is expected to formally announce the season start at a news conference scheduled for 5 p.m. PDT
